Inspiring the Next Generation of Investors
GAIN partners with schools and colleges across the UK to introduce young women and non-binary students to the world of investment management.
Through free talks, challenges and events, we help students build confidence, awareness and connections in an industry that needs greater diversity.
For Schools & Teachers
We offer a range of free sessions and resources to help you bring investment and finance to life in the classroom.
What We Offer
Schools Investment Challenge
The GAIN Schools Investment Challenge is an international stock pitch competition for young women and non-binary students in Years 10 to 13. It’s a unique opportunity to explore how investment decisions are made – and to experience first-hand what it’s like to think like an analyst.
Career talks – volunteers share their journeys into investment
GAIN On Demand – A free, online investment management course.
Career fairs – GAIN representatives attend your school events
Bespoke sessions – tailored to your school’s needs and timetable
Exclusive student events – including Insight Days and networking opportunities
Industry insight events – real-world exposure for your students
All sessions are designed and delivered by GAIN and our volunteer network — so there’s no extra planning required for teachers.
We provide student workbooks and follow-up materials for continued learning.
Financial Support
We believe cost should never be a barrier to opportunity. If you are invited to attend an event and need help with travel or other expenses, bursary support is available.
Who We Work With
Our talks are aimed at KS4 and KS5 pupils (Years 10–13) and can be delivered to mixed-gender groups.
We have a network of 2,000+ industry volunteers, ready to inspire your students with stories from a wide range of backgrounds and career paths.

What Teachers Say
The speakers were amazing and really inspired our students with their story of how they have made a success of their career, coming from very different backgrounds.
It was great to see so many students asking them questions, particularly the quieter ones I didn’t expect to come out of their shell.
Head of Economics & Business, Badminton School, Bristol
The event was a massive success. The speaker was exceptional and she really was a big hit with the students.
As a school we are really thankful for this being provided and look forward to next year.
